About this Previous Vehicle:

This project was intended to compete in the LS1TECH drag racing series, the plan was for it to be a single 88mm turbocharged 408ci setup, approx 1000 rwhp. It would have been a decent 8-second car, set up to run Extreme Modified 10.5. When the racing series was disolved, I realized I didn't have much time to race and maintain a trailer queen, so I traded this car for the black 98 Formula above. It was a low 11-second heads/cam car before any chassis work was done, and it was originally a 6-speed manual.
